a little family rivalry

Our Internet's been a little screwy since we got back from our trip, a problem AT&T is having trouble resolving . . . grrrrr. I will attempt to post this and hope it works throughout!

Ryan about to enter the Rogers Centre, formerly the SkyDome for our first game of the trip.

I was most excited about this game because it was both of our favorite teams.

We got lots of comments about our opposing "viewpoints."

We caught the tail end of batting practice and I managed to snag Justin Masterson's autograph on my glove. This is him throwing it back to me.

The stands were pretty full for how big the stadium is.

Kevin Youkilis hit 2 home runs to help Boston's and my fantasy team's efforts.

Ryan and the fake Ace. I tried to take a picture with the real Ace in the stands, but he took offense to my Red Sox getup. Oh well.

Alex Rios hit the only Jays home run of the game.

Ryan's face should tell you who won the game. The Red Sox won 8-2.

After the game and a quick walk back to the car to get coats and snacks, we took off along the lakefront to catch a ferry to Centre Island. On the way we snapped some pictures of the tallest landmark around. The CN Tower was the world's tallest free-standing structure on land from 1975 until 2007.

That's the Rogers Centre on the left below the tower. Everything's below the tower =]

On Centre island, I discovered some baby squirrels running around a tree. They ran in this hole and this one wouldn't leave as long as I was watching.

Far Enough Farm has barnyard animals: horses, ponies, rabbits, chickens, etc.
